Children are wearing new clothes
Bright colours fill the streets
Their faces full of laughter
Their pockets full of sweets
Let us rejoice indeed
For this is the day of Eid

CHORUS

Mosques are full of worshippers
in rows straight and neat
Their Lord they remember, His name they repeat
Their hands are raised to the sky
They supplicate and plead
On this blessed day
Forgive us they entreat
Let us rejoice indeed
For this is the day of Eid

CHORUS

People are giving charity
And helping those in need
In giving they’re competing
Today there is no greed
Let us rejoice indeed
For this is the day of Eid

CHORUS

Enemies embracing each other
All hatred is buried
Everyone is celebrating
Greeting everyone they meet
Let us rejoice indeed
For this is the day of Eid

MOHAMMAD

SAMY YUSUF

Every day I see the same headlines
Crimes committed in the name of the divine
People committing atrocities in his name
They murder and kidnap with no shame
But did he teach hatred, violence, or bloodshed? No... Oh No

He taught us about human brotherhood
And against prejudice he firmly stood He loved children, their hands he’d hold
And taught his followers to respect the old
So would he allow the murder of an innocent child? Oh No...

Muhammad the light of my eyes
About you they spread many lies
If only they came to realise
Bloodshed you despise

CHORUS

ALLAHU

SAMY YUSUF

Blessed is your faceBlessed is your nameMy belovedBlessed is your smileWhich makes my soul want to flyMy belovedAll the nightsAnd all the timesThat you cared for meBut I never realised itAnd now it’s too lateForgive me

Now I’m alone filled with so much shameFor all the years I caused you painIf only I could sleep in your arms againMother I’m lost without you

You were the sun that brightened my dayNow who’s going to wipe my tears awayIf only I knew what I know todayMother I’m lost without you

Ruhti wa taraktiniYa nura ‘aynayyaYa unsa layliRuhti wa taraktiniMan siwaki yahdhununiMan siwaki yasturuniMan siwaki yahrusuni‘Afwaki ummiSamihini...You went and left meO light of my eyesO comfort of my nightsYou went and left meWho, other than you, will embrace me?Who, other than you, will cover me?Who, other than you, will guard over me?Your pardon mother, forgive me
